Love for Brushes

[AMK721]

I'm developing a love for brushes of all kinds.  I bought a few higher end brushes and they are amazing.  They are incredibly soft and my makeup glides on like a dream.  There are so many interesting shapes. I am really interested in creating a beautiful brush collection.  Show your brushes and share any cleaning and storage tips and let us know which ones are your favorites.

Not me being super excited about one of my dream collabs or anything… 

And it’s a set, not just a single brush… just when I thought I might actually accomplish a brush low-buy this year. That’ll depend on how many of these brushes are new shapes vs. remakes of existing ones I already own from either Chikuhodo or Sonia G.

It's here! Beautylish Presents Year of the Snake Brush

Ugh you’re killing me @itsfi . It’s just too darn cute. I try to unseen it 🤣😂 

[danielledanielle]

UGH, WHY IS IT SO CUTE(?)...guess I have to get it now.

[itsfi]

Dear @danielledanielle, 

Yes, you need to get it.

Sincerely, 

Science

Hahaha! It's soooo cute. I wasn't expecting it to be so cute - happy that it is though! Gotta give props to the design team. Well done!!

I want to buy some quality makeup brushes, because I used to use some kind of noname ones before.

[AMK721]

@mary0jones I think it's a good idea to start out with less expensive brushes and once you get familiar with the shape of brushes you enjoy, build up to more expensive ones (in my opinion). Luxury brushes can get pricey, but great items to put on your wish list.

[CynthieLu]

What are you thinking of trying @mary0jones ?

[danielledanielle]

So much for slowing down, I guess 🤷🏽‍♀️💸

@danielledanielle those are so pretty.

@danielledanielle  I was gonna force myself to ignore this launch/relaunch, but then I saw the mini keyaki sheer buffer. Since then, I’ve tried convincing myself I don’t need that brush because I already have the long-handled sheer buffer. But my need to have all the keyaki brushes is winning this debate so far. (I have volumes 1 and 2.) 

There’s also a long-handled mini sheer buffer coming too, with a smaller head than the regular sheer buffer. Details and comparisons are at Sweet Makeup Temptations. 

In case anyone’s wondering: the mini keyaki buffer (in the first image, it’s the bottom farthest right brush) isn’t just a brush, it’s a magic wand. I sometimes use it to apply things over tinted sunscreens and it doesn’t disturb that sunscreen base. I’m glad to see it coming back, along with all the other keyakis being available for individual sale (though Sonia says they’re not permanent).

@WinglessOne  You are soo right about the sheer buffer.  I wasn't super thrilled to receive that in a Lucky Bag last year, but now I'm really glad I did.  It's perfect for stick blushes. 

[danielledanielle]

@WinglessOne, my eyes immediately locked on (mini) sheer buffer.  It was as if my soul knew, 🤣 I can probably pass (let's hope 💸) on the holder because her brush holders are more than I'd like to pay for, I purchased one during the last GC event, but was a but turned off by the size.  It holds a lot, wish it were just a bit larger.  Kind of glad I missed out on the brush book.

[WinglessOne]

@danielledanielle  The price of the wooden holders also keeps me from buying one. They’re beautiful though! The brush book (and the upcoming mini book) is an easy pass for me because I already have esum’s brush book that doubles as a travel makeup case for me, and that one’s a bit more protective than Sonia’s soft sided books. 

I’ve decided to skip the Beautylish Lucky Bag this year and buy a keyaki sheer buffer instead, since they’ll supposedly launch at the same time. 😂 I’ve got some points to use toward that brush so I might as well, right? If lots of other folks plan also plan to grab that brush, I hope we both manage to snag one! 

[danielledanielle]

@WinglessOne, I, of course, looked up Esum's booklet.  That is a very nice alternative...thanks for the (inadvertent) heads up!

[peculiarzmakeup]

What a beautiful collection! I don’t have a full set of brushes from any collection from except Sephora’s which I really love I may aspire for one in the new year thanks for sharing 🙂 @danielledanielle 

[curlychiquita]

Ooh, they look beautiful, @danielledanielle!

[Buootiful]

Does anyone know of a good Eyeshadow and blush brush that is retractable? I need one on the go that can tumble in my medium sized purse without getting dirty. Animal or synthetic hair is fine. Thanks.
